—WPAN technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4 have been introduced to allow for energy-efficient communication of control and sensor data. In certain application areas, it is benefici...
This paper proposes a policy-based management framework for self-managed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) called SNOWMAN (SeNsOr netWork MANagement). In WSNs, a number of sensor nod...
Data gathering is a common but critical operation in many applications of wireless sensor networks. The innovative techniques that improve energy efficiency to prolong the network ...
—Body Sensor Networks can be used to continuously monitor patients’ health. However, secure association of sensors with the patient and key management for providing integrity a...
